If a fundamental goal of schooling is to prepare young people for the unknowable future, why do we assign students so many clearly defined tasks with predetermined solutions?

According to educator and creativity expert Ronald A. Beghetto, the best way to unleash students' problem solving and creativity--and thus prepare them to face real-world problems--is to incorporate complex challenges that teach students to respond productively to uncertainty. In this thought-provoking book, Beghetto explains

  • How to foster possibility thinking to help students open up their thinking in creative, sometimes counterintuitive ways.
  • The process of lesson unplanning, a way of transforming existing lessons, activities, and assignments into more complex classroom challenges.
  • Four basic action principles that teachers and students can use to design and solve complex challenges both inside and outside the classroom.
  • The steps for creating legacy challenges, which require students to identify a problem, develop a solution, and ensure that their work makes a lasting contribution.

With planning forms and detailed sample activities, this practical guide will enable teachers at every grade level to design a full range of challenges in any subject area. Invite uncertainty into your classroom--and discover what your students are capable of.

Comfortable and Lightweight Running Shoes
Size: 11 X-Wide, Color: White/Bright Crimson/Pure Platinum/Black
The Nike Men’s Revolution 8 Road Running shoes are very comfortable and lightweight, making them great for walking, running, or everyday use. The cushioning provides good support during long periods of wear, and the breathable material helps keep feet cool. I also like the modern design and how versatile they are with casual or athletic outfits. The fit feels secure without being too tight, and the sole has good traction on different surfaces. Overall, these shoes offer excellent comfort, style, and value for the prIce.

Reliable Performance and Unmatched Comfort
Size: 9, Color: Black/Anthracite
​After putting these Nikes through their paces for both walking and running, they have proven to be a standout investment for anyone prioritizing functionality and value. ​Key Highlights: ​Fit & Stability: The toe box width is excellent. They don't cramp the sides of the foot, allowing for a natural toe splay during impact while maintaining a secure "lockdown" feel that provides confidence in every stride. ​Heel Ergonomics: A common fail point in running shoes is irritation at the Achilles or heel. These, however, are impeccably designed; I've experienced zero discomfort, pressure points, or blisters, even during longer sessions. ​Versatility: They transition seamlessly from urban walking to mid-intensity runs. The gait cycle feels fluid, and the outsole provides the necessary grip to feel connected to the ground.

Incredibly comfortable and priced right
Size: 8.5 X-Wide, Color: White/Bright Crimson/Pure Platinum/Black
I'm new to running and was eager to get a shoe that would handle sustained distance running while being thoroughly comfortable on my feed. I have wide feet as well, and the wide version of this shoe is a perfect fit. After running with these for a few weeks, I tried on a lesser pair of run shoes for comparison and the support of the Revolution 8 became every more apparent. For the price, this is a great entry running shoe and one I'll use all year.

Good sneakers
Size: 8, Color: Lt Smoke Grey/Black/Smoke Grey/White
Bought size 8 for my son. He likes them and finds it more comfy than his Nike air max sneakers. Only issues are that the laces are a bit too short, so tying them can be annoying, and that the grey color gets dirty easily.

Worth it, gents
Size: 10, Color: Black/Anthracite
These are very comfortable and lightweight. They’ve held up admirably through day-in, day-out wear and tear for about three months. The size is precise, the price is reasonable, and the style is on point. I’d buy them again in a heartbeat.
